Lampo — Private Local AI Made Simple
Lampo turns your Mac into a very powerful private, local AI workspace. Designed from the ground up to make local AI approachable without limiting what you can build with it. Start simply with guided chats, documents, image generation, and local knowledge. Then go further with MCP server support, agentic tool usage, model fine-tuning, and advanced on-device workflows like coding all from a handcrafted Mac app built to make local AI feel powerful, private, and easy to use.
LOCAL AI THE EASY WAY
Local AI can be difficult to approach. Lampo is designed to make the first step simple.
The app guides you through the experience so you can:
• start chatting with local models
• drop in files and screenshots
• ask questions about your documents
• build a private knowledge base
• generate images locally
• connect tools through MCP servers
• let the assistant choose and use tools when needed
• use agentic coding to write, improve, and reason about code
A PRIVATE AI WORKSPACE
Lampo is a complete local AI workspace for macOS, created for users who want modern fine tuned AI while staying in control of their data.
Use it to summarise long documents, extract insights, analyse text, explore ideas, draft responses, search your own knowledge base, or automate parts of your workflow through connected tools.
Everything is local-first and designed around privacy. Your conversations, files, indexes, and memory stay on your Mac unless you choose to enable features that connect outside your device, such as web search or external MCP tools.
THE LAMPO ASSISTANT
At the centre of Lampo is a friendly bulb shaped assistant that helps you work naturally.
Open Quick Chat, attach documents, take screenshots, ask follow-up questions, and let Lampo suggest useful next steps. With agentic tool usage, the assistant can reason about the task, select available tools, and use them to help you get things done.
You can drag and drop anything onto Lampo and it will friendly help shape your ideas and accomplish your tasks.
DOCUMENTS AND KNOWLEDGE
Create a private knowledge base with built-in Retrieval-Augmented Generation.
You can:
• ask questions about your documents
• summarise reports, notes, and PDFs
• search across your local file system
Indexing and retrieval happen on your Mac.
TRAIN YOUR OWN AI
Lampo includes a local user friendly Trainer for LoRA fine-tuning.
Create custom training sets for your work, writing style, domain knowledge, or personal projects, and build models that better understand the way you think and work.
LOCAL IMAGE GENERATION
With Painting Mode, Lampo brings Stable Diffusion image generation to your Mac. Create illustrations, brainstorm visual ideas, experiment with styles, and generate images locally without relying on cloud image services.
MCP SERVER SUPPORT
Lampo supports Model Context Protocol server integration, allowing you to connect external tools and workflows to your local AI assistant.
This makes Lampo more than a chat app. It becomes a personal AI system that can interact with the tools you choose, while keeping you in control of what is connected and when it is used.
BUILT FOR APPLE SILICON
Lampo is designed for Apple Silicon Macs and takes advantage of the Mac architecture to run AI workloads locally and efficiently. Performance depends on the model you choose and your Mac hardware. Larger models may require more unified memory and compute power.
